"Did you enjoy the day, sweety?" Liberty smiled at the old woman before nodding. As soon as they left their house, her lola dragged her everywhere. They've gone to a family park, mall, and beach. It was tiring, but she enjoyed it very much.
"Glad you did," Her heart almost melted on the way her lola smile, it was pure and contentment was visible in its face.
"Lola, where are we going next?" Liberty asked her grandmother as she helped the old woman enter the car.
"Home, sweety," the latter replied.
It was the trigger for Liberty's body to feel the physical pain. After 6 months of being lockdown in their house, it was indeed a very tiring day. She can't help but heaved a deep sigh as she rests the back of her head unto the chair of the car.
She closed her eyes and started reminiscing the happenings from the beach they've gone to earlier. It was relaxing and lovely, not when she saw a girl wearing a long white dress.
No, Liberty was not scared of ghosts since she herself is a ghost- if you know what it means. What made her mood change so suddenly was the imprinted flower on the dress. It was the red spider lily. She can't help but stare at it, as she remembers her beautiful cake.
But it was not happiness nor adoration, she was anxious for no reason. Liberty bit her lower lip, trying to calm herself. She got up from where she was seated and walked slowly towards the woman who is now staring blankly at the sea.
Liberty moved her hand attempting to touch the woman but stopped midway. Instead, she faked a cough, trying to get its attention. She won't know what she's doing, Liberty is an anti-social kind of girl. She won't approach you unless you talk to her first. So this is kind of creeping her out.
Repolyo ni Pwa, ano ba itong ginagawa ko?
Liberty almost took her breath away when the woman looked at her. She noticed that the girl has pretty crimson eyes, it was as captivating as the red spider lily.
"Uh, I just uh," Liberty stuttered, she's out of words. And when the woman took a step closer to her, Liberty felt chills running down through her spines.
"You're blocking the way," her eyes widen on the woman's statement. Liberty subconsciously makes way for the woman until it passed her.
That woman's voice, its as cold as ice but still pleasing in some way.
She turned her head once more to the woman in white, and to Liberty's surprise, it was looking at her too. The sharp piercing wind was blowing its white dress in a dramatic way, its wavy pitch-black hair was dancing with the wind and its beautiful crimson eyes were staring at her directly.
Its lips gaped open and moved in slow motion. It was as if she whispered something to the wind before turning its back again and continued walking until it disappeared from Liberty's sight.
"Le cake,"

"Sabi ko naman kasi sayo, wag ka ng umasa. Parang sa comeback ng one direction na iyan, hindi mang-" Liberty cut her friend Pwa's sentence with a 'shush'.
"We shall not speak taboo," the latter rolled its eyes on Liberty's remark.
"How to answer this part? Am I supposed to explain how or why?" the girl on the other line asked her.
